## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability coingecko-global-defi-e79abbf6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the latest global DeFi market stats from CoinGecko — give me the total DeFi market cap, 24-hour trading volume, DeFi dominance percentage, and the top DeFi coin, all in USD?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a high-level snapshot of the entire DeFi ecosystem — total market cap, dominance, volume, and the leading DeFi token — rather than data on a specific coin or token. Prefer this over coin-specific endpoints (like Simple Price or Coins Markets) when the user asks about the DeFi sector as a whole rather than individual assets.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid vs_currencies value returns an error or empty data
- Unsupported platform_id causes missing or null response fields
- Invalid contract_address format leads to data fetch failure
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns a 429 or error response
- Temporary CoinGecko data unavailability returns success:false
